THE FAIR.

The rain stopped in time for the
Fair and yesterday morning the
clouds broke away and it was fair
day in two senses.
There was nothing in the way of
attendance yesterday, but the entries
already foot up over 800. The vege-
table display is the best ever seen in
the county and the stock display will
be also, we think, when the entries
are all in.
The huge squashes and pumpkins
grown by G. S. Bond should be seen
by every one. There are three Chilli
squashes weighing respectively 7G,
80 and 95 lbs, and seven varieties of
pumpkins; the smallest weighing u
and the largest So lbs.
j. B. Green and j: B. Mott, exhib-
it splendid potatoes.
In the stock line, Col. r.. H. Mat
son shows five or six horses, one of
which is the thoroughbred mare, Lau-
IA Golddust; Geo. j. Day shows a
lot Of fine Jersey and Polled Angus
cattle, while Messrs. J.. n. Denton
and n. II. Smith show some fine Hol-.
stems; J. II. Maxwell shows four
pens of fine Cotswold sheep, and j.
p. Moulton shows a hog, less than Is
months old, which must measure Z to
8 feet from "tip to tip"
We cannot make mention of more
in this issue, but hope to give a full
report next week. We only touch
the top exhibits to show that there is
a very excellent show as to quality,
and we urge all to go today.
If the weather is fair there will be
a good, big attendance, and every
body should go and see everybody
else.

Col. j. II. Broadus, who has been
spending week here, returned Mon
day to Topeka. His visit was again
with reference to operating the Okabe-

definitely, we can say that an effort is
being made to have the mills put in
shape for fall and winter grinding. We

that Mr.. Broadus would get his large

shape that he could turn his attention

No institution in the world receives 80
many queer letters and curious sppli-
cations a. the patent ofilce at Wash
ington. The fantastic ideas Of cranks
Of the country fly to It like particles
to magnet. The applications that have
been made for patents on perpetual
motion machines are simply innumera-
BILE, and any occurrence producing :
strong impression upon the public mind
is sure to be followed by perfect storm
OF queer inventions. When President
Garfield was lying upon his sick bed In
the White House the cranks sent In all
kinds Of models Of Inventions for re-
ducing the temperature Of the sick room.
Applications for models OF destructive
torpedoes, flying machines, etc., are Of
daily occurrence, but the palm for gro
tesque Inventions Is awarded by the
much-enduring officials to Mr.. Michael
Cahiil and Morris Pinchover, ESQ.
Both Of these gentlemen are well
known at Washington, and It must be
said of them that their inventions are
thoroughly philanthropic in their con-
ception. Mr.. Pinchover has noticed
with deep concern the difficulties which
he thinks beset dogs when they turn
corners, hence he has invented device
for adjustable dogs tails. The colonel's
title is of unknown derivation, but as
titles are very cheap in this country,
nobody begrudges him his colonelcy.
He is short and wiry, his hair Is worn
long like the typical cowboy or an Indian
herb doctor, and he generally wears a
slouch hat IA nsilitaire. He carries with
him cylindrical tin case, which contains
maps and diagrams Of his great invention.
Here is the description given of It in his
application for q patent which was &C.
companied by this diagram:

made joyous rush straight through the
